Yes, of course you can unlock BitLocker and that is again a totally different matter. Still, the question remains if cloning an encrypted drive is a standard procedure. If only one bit is corrupted in your backup, you are already in trouble. All professional backup solutions I know read unencrypted data from BitLocker drives.
